Fender Custom Shop Telecaster Custom Super Heavy Relic Electric Guitar, Tangerine/Firemist Silver
Just before a Telecaster reaches its supernova phase, burns out and bursts across the solar system, it reaches a stage where it looks a little something like this, a Fender Custom Shop Telecaster Custom Super Heavy Relic in an interstellar Aged Candy Tangerine over Aged Firemist Silver! This rugged, two-faced Tele presents some hefty wear to simulate the look of a Telecaster well put through its paces, seen the road, maybe taken a few scrapes. Its looks, combined with its fiery electronics and smooth playing feel, make for a knockout Custom Shop on every level.
The Fender Custom Shop has a reputation for distinct, vintage-inspired pieces. This Tele Custom plays right into the Custom Shop's long, long legacy with highly customized guitars chock-full of character. Everything kicks off with a two-piece guitar and bass alder body, sorted for weight. In Fender Custom Shop guitars, "sorted for weight" refers to a step in the build process where a builder selects a cut body among a lineup for it being the lightest pick among the lot. This makes for a body that leans lighter and lands the whole guitar at an easy seven pounds, twelve ounces.
Alongside a smooth feel over the shoulder with a strap, this Tele Custom's alder works as great canvas on which to splash a truly one-of-a-kind lacquer finish. This Telecaster's finish features the Custom Shop's Super Heavy Relic wear treatment which simulates a lacquer finish that's seen it all – the stage, the road, the pavement of the parking lot. Aged Firemist Silver serves as the base color for this Telecaster Custom while an Aged Candy Tangerine lays on top, presenting a multidimensional look and plenty of alder grain exposed.
A unique feel in the fretting hand starts with a three-bolt 5/4 quartersawn maple neck. This quality neck shapes up into a Fender Custom Shop '57 Style Soft "V" profile that balances the lessened shoulder of a "C" with the fuller roundness of "U" for a real "best-of-both-worlds" kind of situation. On top of its "V" profile neck, the quartersawn maple connects with a distinct feel in the palm for its unfinished Super Heavy Relic back.
Free of gloss for something au naturale, this neck is really a treat to take hold of and play. A round lam quartersawn maple fingerboard then lines up with twenty-one frets using 6150 Medium Jumbo wire and a modern 9.5" radius for a flatter, speedy feel on the fingertips. This neck overall measures from .850" at its first fret to .990" at its twelfth for a feel not too thick and not too thin.
For its voice, this Telecaster Custom loads in two beefy, fiery pickups. In its bridge position, this Custom Shop features a hand-wound Crushed Blackguard Tele single-coil for that classic, bright, hot Tele twang. In its neck position, a Wide Range CuNiFe humbucker matches. '72 Telecaster Custom wiring shapes these two high-output pickups with two volume and two tone controls. Backing all this up, this Custom Shop piece features a three-saddle '67 Telecaster bridge. Toward the headstock, a bone nut and Schaller F-Key tuning machines line up for easy stringing. Matching its Super Heavy Relic body finish treatment, the Custom Shop's Relic finish treatment appears across its hardware for a lived-in look. This Fender Custom Shop Telecaster Custom travels with an included Strat/Tele Black hardshell case.
Take a peek into a real big bang of a Tele Custom with this one-of-a-kind Fender Custom Shop piece!
